Bowtie antennas have been popular for over 60 years. While they offered an acceptable combination of power and size, they were designed for a different era.

The DB4e utilizes the latest advancements from the Antennas Direct design lab. The breakthrough technology of the enhanced series of bowtie antennas is smaller and more powerful. While it delivers twice the power of the bowties it replaces, the DB4e also specifically targets the core UHF DTV frequencies. We have also enhanced this antenna's ability to reject interference.

At a compact 23in. x 37in. form, the DB4e is the first broad spectrum antenna without the performance compromises typically seen in outdated designs of legacy antennas. With a generous beam width of 60 degrees, the DB4e offers reliable reception from widely spaced broadcast towers without the need for rotation. It has a range of 65+ miles making it the ideal antenna choice for suburban installations challenged with receiving signals through heavy foliage or roofing materials. Using anodized aluminum, DB4e antennas are engineered for strength and durability. The Antennas Direct lifetime warranty assures you of its superior build quality.

Watch All Your Favorite Shows

The new DB4e bowtie delivers FREE HD programming from TV networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, including all their top shows.*

The Latest in Antenna Technology

Advanced design software allows this 23in. x 37in. antenna to be smaller and more powerful than ever. No other antenna in the category can rival its compact, powerful, dual-band performance.

Rating: 5/5Another 45130 dude

Pros: I can pull in all Cincinnati and Dayton stations from 45130 which is great with a 50" HD LG TV. This thing is tough because the black cover over the center was cracked when I got it, the package looked like it had been ran over with a tank. I put some clear silicone over the crack, let it dry overnight, & mounted it. I am impressed with this wounded warrior lol.

Cons: Shipping destroyed this thing, but a little protective silione and voila, I didn't feel like shipping it back.

Other Thoughts: With a great deal on the 50" TV from Newegg, this antennae, I get all the networks and more and no bill, no bills. Yea man!

Rating: 4/5DB4e easily pulls those signals in

Pros: Easy to assemble & install, I opted to roof mount mine. I'm quite impressed with this antenna, pulling in 19 line of sight stations available to me (exception is 1 lower power CBS affiliate) from two transmitters - 82 miles & 14 miles away. I am dealing with a pretty wide (55 degree) spread between those 2 xmitters, but the DB4e has a wide enough pattern that I'm able to lock in on both. I may try a pre-amp to get that missing CBS and boost the others, but other than that, quite impressed on how it handles from 82 miles away.

Cons: Construction feels a little flimsy, would have hoped for more than 2 bolts to hold the front and back sections together. Not so much worried about wind, as this is an open design, but rather the substantial snow & freezing rain I get in my location. Time will tell.

Rating: 5/5DB4E pulls through with demanding task

Other Thoughts: From Hamersville, Ohio (45130), I wanted a high gain antenna with a wide enough pattern to pull in both Cincinnati and Dayton. I aimed this antenna directly between the two and can pick up every station except CH 12 in Cincinnati, which is a VHF station. No matter, because I can get the CBS affiliate from Dayton, 60 miles away.
